🏎️ Staff Picks

We’ve got our eyes on some fun new paints this week in the Showroom.

#60 Ron Beauchamp Jr. Mopar Dodge Challenger Pintys 2012 by Julian M. - Trading Paints
Recreation of the Mopar Challenger Ron Beauchamp drove back in 2012. Painted using Davin Cornelius’s Canada Series Dodge template from the iRacing forums and a custom #60 made in the TP Number Builder that almost mirrors the real #60 that was used. https://number.tradingpaints.com/showroom/13580
#14 Tony Stewart 2012 Office Depot by CJ Clark - Trading Paints
Tony Stewart’s 2012 Office Depot paint scheme
Kai Allen Grove Penrite Racing Indigenous Round by Mick J. - Trading Paints
Into the GT3R Porscheverse (#canvasprjct) by Enrique V. - Trading Paints
This livery was created for the #canvasprjct competition. I went with a cell shading concept to create highlights and shadows without actually using reflections. This was inspired by the Spider Man Into the Spiderverse animation movie which I was always blown away by their shading technique. Because the prompt for the competition was “Canvas” the livery is completely digitally hand painted without the use of vectors. It is meant to merge the physical and virtual world and bring a deliberately comic like look to a simulator that continues to strive towards realism. You see the hand of the person that created it which serves as a unique signature for the file.
